Sexual harassment of nurses seriously affects nursing performance and productivity. In this survey, sexual harassment by male patients and coworkers was reported by greater than 70% of the female staff nurses surveyed. The most common manifestations of harassment were sexual remarks; however, behaviors involving touch were frequent. Nurses noted that they often confronted patients when these behaviors occurred, but were less likely to confront male co-workers. Findings suggest that nursing managers and executives must discover and eliminate sexual harassment in hospital work settings and create work cultures that discourage manifestation of sexually harassing behaviors.
护士遭受性骚扰严重影响护理工作表现和工作效率。在本次调查中，超过70%接受调查的女性护士报告遭受了男性患者和同事的性骚扰。骚扰最常见的表现形式是性言论；然而，涉及触摸的行为也很频繁。护士们指出，当这些行为发生时，她们经常会与患者对峙，但与男性同事对峙的可能性较小。研究结果表明，护理管理者和行政人员必须发现并消除医院工作环境中的性骚扰行为，营造一种抑制性骚扰行为表现的工作文化。
